Not really sure but looking at it practically - adding something before the fermentation that's supposed to pull yeast out of suspension isn't really going to help things along to my mind. Could be wrong, but it seems inherently antagonistic.

Are you using this in wine or beer (as you dont state which- there is a section for pother brews thats why I ask)

Personally I wouldnt use Bentonite at all in beer, as it caneffect head retention, becasue of this I have never used it in beer but have used it in wine making where it is added after fermetation is complete.
